As its name suggests, almond oil is extracted from almond nuts. The characteristics of an almond oil vary depending on the way it is extracted, processed and the type of almonds used. Almond Oil Extraction There are two common methods used to make almond oil: chemical extraction or expeller pressed. Though chemical extraction produces the highest oil yield, it does so at the sacrifice of the almond oil’s taste, quality, and nutrients. Expeller-pressed methods produce higher quality products because they allow the oils to maintain their physical and chemical properties better. As a consumer, choosing an expeller-pressed oil can help ensure you are making the most of the nutritional and quality benefits available. Making an expeller-pressed almond oil involves the following steps: In cast-iron kettles, almonds are thoroughly ground and roasted to the desired temperature. The almonds are then fed through the expeller and lightly filtered, making a warm paste. The paste is then placed in a press to extract the oil. The resulting oil is filtered and poured into containers. The leftover nut cake is sold and used by bakers or turned into cattle feed, reducing waste. Almond Oil Processing After extraction, some almond oils undergo additional processing to make them “refined.” These steps utilize high temperatures, high pressures, chemicals and deodorization measures to give the almond oil several advantages, including the following: The oil is tasteless. The oil has a higher smoke point than unrefined oils. The oil maintains its nutrient content. Unrefined oils, like roasted almond oil, do not undergo these processing steps. As a result, they maintain lower smoke points and more full-bodied flavors. Both refined and unrefined almond oil can be beneficial for health applications depending on the taste and smoke point you need. Sweet vs. Bitter Almond Oil It is important to note that almond oils made for consumption are considered sweet almond oils. A type of oil known as bitter almond oil can be made from a different type of almond. Bitter almond oil is sometimes used in soap and massage therapy, but it has toxic properties when ingested. All of the almond oil benefits we describe are based on sweet almond oil.  Health Benefits of Almond Oil Almond oil offers health benefits, both internally with a healthy diet and externally with a topical beauty routine.
